Liverpool have made a €15m bid for Ajax striker Luis Suarez, but the Dutch side are holding out for closer to €25m, according to media reports.

Italian publication Tuttomercato comments that the English Premier League want to pair the Uruguayan with Fernando Torres at Anfield, and have made initial enquires to bring Suarez to the club in the January transfer window.

Ajax are not currently in a position where they can reject a substantial offer for their star asset, but will attempt to hold out for a bigger bid from the Reds.

The likes of Juventus, Real Madrid and Tottenham have been linked with Suarez in the past, but Liverpool have emerged as one of the main contenders for the player's signature.

The 23-year-old struck 49 goals in an incredible season last year, and has managed 11 goals in 22 matches for the Amsterdam club this season.
